Hello and welcome to
planDisney, Patricia. Thanks for stopping by with your question.
It's so exciting to be planning a trip to
Walt Disney World. I can't think of a better way to kick off a new year. Patricia, I think you'll be happy to know that according to the
Disney Parks Blog reservations for 2023 travel dates opens up officially on June 8th. So you'll be able to book that most magical vacation in just about 2 weeks' time.
If you don't want to wait that long, you can actually book a
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel only stay 499 days in advance. If you weren't able to find a lot of information about this online, no worries. This is something that you actually need to call and have a Cast Member assist you with over the phone. To make a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel reservation 499 days in advance you'll need to call (407) 939-1936. You'll need to know your travel dates, your party, the resort hotel that you'd like to stay at and you'll be required to pay a one-night's stay as a deposit. If you do this now, and a Walt Disney World vacation package is released that fits within your travel dates and preferred resort, you can always call back and switch over to that once the packages are released.
If you have your heart set on a particular Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, this might not be a bad idea. I've noticed that some hotels have become wildly popular lately and do tend to book up quickly. I suspect that come June 8th, we will see an influx of people booking 2023 vacations and I would hate for you not to get your first choice.
I hope this helps, Patricia. If you have any other planning questions, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm happy to help.
Enjoy!
Jackie H.
